On my passenger door, the toothed wheel in the door is just free spinning. Is there a repair for these, or do I just need to replace it? Are there more modern/reliable upgraded parts I can use to do this or is this the only available version?
door latch repairs?

I can remember what page (‘rear body mounts is my thread) but I went with a different route. Am pleased with the results.

I see the pins on 114, but I dont see which page the door side is on? I should probably add that I dont have a welder... or garage.... lol
I'm betting the mechanism (little arms) in there that control the star wheel are gummed up and just need a good cleaning. It's not a fun job, but can be done in the driveway with hand tools. It would be a good idea to do all the doors.

this i can hope for. the passenger inner handle was ripped off, when I put one on there the mechanism was frozen solid. couple blasts of carb cleaner and now its perfect so I hope i continue to be that lucky with the door latches lol
You'll have to go inside the door and take it all out in order to check what's going on. There's a lot of moving parts in there, but nothing too hard to figure out.
